A shy girl learns to trust again

Nala had been overlooked by potential adopters at her previous RSPCA centre in Hampshire. So she travelled nearly 100 miles to RSPCA Newport Animal Centre, hoping a change might help her find a home.

But Nala was struggling. She was shy around new people, and her anxiety around handling made even vet care stressful.

Thanks to you, our team used reward-based training to help her feel safe. As she built bonds with patient staff, her confidence grew. She went from wary to seeking attention, and even started getting excited to see the vet!

Now this clever girl is ready for her perfect match.

Squeaky toys and snuffle mats that keep her mind busy

It was magical when Cuddy first purred. She was the most timid, but one day it was like she suddenly knew she could trust me.

Three kittens find their courage

Tabby Alison, black-and-white Cuddy and black kitten Greg were just three months old when they were rescued from a household waste recycling centre. It had been a tough start to life for this trio.

When they arrived at RSPCA Millbrook Animal Centre, they were terrified of people. But with your support, our team could give them the patient care they needed.

Slowly, with gentle handling and time, the kittens started to trust. Greg was the bravest, taking the lead, with his sisters Alison and Cuddy following close behind. Now they’re much more confident and ready for their next chapter, thanks to you.

    Get to know Bella

  • Bella’s an incredibly brave pup who’s learning to trust people again
  • She loves leaning into people and occasionally lying down on them
  • Bella loves playing with soft toys

The trio loves:

Alison: Playing with Greg – she’s full of energy and always wins!

Cuddy: Chasing string toys with feathers and building her confidence

Greg: Being social and soaking up human attention
